This chapter follows the gendered costs of visibility for women journalists, academics, activists, and especially women in politics. Using the assassination of Rio councillor Marielle Franco (2018) as a hinge event, it shows how violence—amplified and orchestrated online—deters civic participation, disproportionately harming Black, Indigenous, and LGBTQIAP+ women. It synthesises evidence on mental health and professional impacts; examines platform content-moderation logics and their gaps; and tracks the mobilisation that yielded the Political Violence Against Women Law (2021) in Brazil, which typifies and penalises acts that hinder women’s political rights across online/offline spaces and creates preventive and protective mechanisms. After unpacking data about TFGBV against visible women and platform actions, it addresses content moderation, its working, limits, and recent global backlashes, from a gendered perspective. The chapter reads political violence as both a democratic problem and a gender/race problem, urging institutional capacity-building (investigation, protective orders, party duties), networked support for targets, and platform activity against coordinated abuse—so women can exercise speech and representation on equal terms.
